A new favorite!! The concept is something I’ve never read before and I think it was done really well. It’s about friendship and mother-daughter relationships and modern technology and young love. Mitty’s character was lovable and complex and held a lot of shame. Lena was sweet and innocent, at least in the beginning. I didn’t expect the open door spicy scenes in the first part of the book. I thought the pacing of the story was good and I liked the duo perspective and the flashback scenes. I really liked that Mitty and Lena are both unhinged to a certain extent. Bethel was awesome and such a great grandmother figure but also friend. The ending was shocking and awesome. I can’t wait to read more novels by Gatwood!
I do wish we had revisited Lena’s fainting spells and had gotten a little more explanation of them. Of course a guy makes a robot that he can also fuck.
Graphic: Self harm and Blood
Lena puts tweezers in her leg and digs around for a bit.
